NATHANIEL DAVIS MUIR
DERER.
A PROBABLE CLUE TO THE PARTIES
WHO COMMITTED THE DEED
WHAT WAS FOUND IN HIS PoCK-
Its.

Nathaniel Davis, who was muir
derously assaulted several weeks
ago and whose, assallants were un-
known have been probably found
out. 1t is said that Mr.. Davis was
i'm the company of his brother-in-
law, Mr.. T. w. Dodson until II o.
clock. Mr.. Dodson left him at the
corner of 9TH and F sts., II. W.,
and young Davis went into the
Federal Building, the place he had
in charge. Mr.. Davis was i'll the
best of health when his brOther-in
law left him. 1t is supposed that
Mr.. Davis was called out by his
assailants after his brother-in-law
left, who had been watching and
waiting for him on the south east
side of 7th street, which was very
dark. After being struck he lin
gered in a semi-conscious state
| until he died. While in this con-
| dition he endeaH Ored TO inform
those at his bedside who his as
sailants were. In his pockets were
! found certain letters from persons
whose names have not yet been
published, who made threats, who
are supposed to be the parties who
committed the murder. The let
ters are very compromising in char
acter, and there is no doubt but
that the guilty persons will be ar
rested in the next "a hours. Young
Davis was a quietly disposed kind
of man, and WAS never known to
do anyone All injury. No young
man was more respected, and be
ing of a liberal and generous dis
position he won a host of friends.

THE GROWING WHEAT.
The Crop Is in Fair Condition, but Further
Fall of Rain Will Do No Particular Injury.

CHICAGO, May S-The Farmers Review will
print the following crop report this week:
rains have been beneficial to winter wheat in
all States reporting this week, but more is re-
quired to give that crop and the spring wheat
more rapid growth. Seeding OF spring wheat is
completed, and in many instances the crop is
above ground and promising well. The average
of the condition of winter wheat in fourteen
counties in Illinois reporting this week is s8 per
cent. In Stephenson county the average is
placed at 100 per cent. and in Dewitt, Efing-
ham, Fulton. Madison and Pulaski counties at
100 per cent. The condition in White and
Wayne counties is reported low as 80 per
cent. while in Clinton it is placed at so per cent
In Coles county the condition is placed at 90 per
cent, and in Brown, Christian, Stark and Wa
bash counties the condition is placed at 80 per
cent johnson and Scott counties report
the condition good; Kankakee an aver
age. and Marion above average condition
of winter wheat. Reports on the condition of
spring wheat are beginning to come in. Dewitt
county reports an average condition of ITO per
cent; Fulton and Stark, 80 per cent Stephen
son, 100 per cent; Whiteside, condition ba OK
ward. and Woodward condition good The gen
eral average condition of winter wheat for the
Indiana counties reporting this week is 81 per
cent. Henry and Madison have an average con-
d1tlon or lUo per cent? Morgan, 1UO per cent,
while in Carroll, White. Lagrange, Vermillion,
Harrison and Knox counties the average condi-
ton is good. Jay county reports one-third of
the crop killed. The condition of winter and
spring wheat IN Fayette and Jackson counties,
of Iowa. is reported fine, but the acreage is
small. The condition of spring wheat is good
in nearly every report with the exception of
Emmett, where it has not sprouted, aud Craw-
ford where IL is suffering on account of the
drouth The condition of winter wheat
in Kansas, the whole, is not promising
Pawnee. jefferson, Nemaha and Wilson counties
alone report good state of affairs. while eight
other counties report very poor to fair condition
and want of rain. In Kentucky the condition of
the crop is quite satisfactory. The same may be
SAID OF Michigan with the exception OF Berrien
county In Minnesota the winter wheat is in a
fair condition, but spring wheat is not above the
ground yet. Prospects in Missouri are very
good for full crop of winter wheat. Winter
and spring wheat in Nebraska are in fairly good
condition; more rain IS still required. The av-
erage condition in Ohio is rather low. Jackson
county has an average condition of los per cent
and Ninton. los per cent The condition OF the
crop in Wisconsin. and also in Dakota. is fair.
Meadows and pastures improving, but in
many localities rain 10 needed.

crowded condition of the house, but little prog
ress could be made by the collectors When they
returned to the stage Mr. George dropped his
contribution into of the baskets. The
action seemed to electrify the house. Those
who had not been reached by the collectors
threw their silver the stage best they
could. For four five minutes money fairly
rained on the stage; 300 picked MP from
the platform. and $500 taken up by the coll
lectors. The scene was of the most remark
able ever witnessed in this city.

Rigorous Rule In AIsace-Lorraine.
copyright. 1887 by New Associated Press.
BERLIN, May THE Kreuz Zeitune says
mixed feelings of disgust and pity aroused
by the present state of France. The conviction
is gradually growing that the efforts of those
who undertook, by quietness and common sense,
to refrain from adding to the popular passions
will not last long or be able to stem the tide.
The exchange of verbal assurances of peace be-
tween the German representatives and NJ.
Flourens, the French Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs does not affect the belief in official circles
that war cannot be long avoided. The situation
in Alsace Lorraine increases the difficulty daily.
The frontier posts each side have ceased to
exchange courtesies, and act if might
break out at any moment The police force in
Alsace Lorraine has been strengthened and a
special department watches French malcontents.
Under this system arrests and expulsions are in
creaSing.
A decree issued by Prince Hohenlohe, the
Governor of Alsace Lorraine. revokes the func-
tons of Mayor Turc, of Ersdorf, and Mayor
Humbert. of Buschhern Among the notable
expusions are those of Herr DelIgny, managing
director of Schiltgheim factory: DIR, Treves
from Metz; civil engineer Remei from Ben
field. and two brothers named Schwaltckhardt,
carpet-makers, from Strasburg.
The Metz Gazette announces that the authori-
ties will dissolve all societies and clubs refusing
to admit Germans and will endeavor to enforce
the exclusive of German as the official Ian
guage throughout Alsace- Lorraine
The Tageolatt advocates plan to colonize
the provinces by a gradual appropriation
of French sympathizers, the purchase
of land through the state assisted by
the Land Bank. the settlement of German
farmers and special grants to soldiers of
the reserve. In the meantime, though there is
state of siege in Alsace Lorraine the actual
regime IS quite as thorough. French artisans
hitherto employed in frontier towns are leaving
the French consuls sending them France.
The French frontier popuace indulge IN a hunt
after Germans whenever they have the chance.
An incident of this kind occurred at Belfort. A
party of German excursonists who made trip
from Freiburg to Belfort, were mobbed soon
as they were seen upon the public promenade.

tail of gen-darmes had to escort them to the
